Like in a scene from the movie “Field of Dreams,” starring Kevin Costner, Kemp McLeod Jr. went to great lengths to raise money to help the children of McBee play on a field of their dreams. McLeod, owner of McLeod Farms in McBee, imprinted a design in his cornfield to commemorate the University of South Carolina's back-to-back national baseball championships.

Nancy K. Starnes found this Peach Pound Cake recipe in the S.C. Farmers Market Bulletin. Submitted to the publication by Jackie Blanton of Gaffney, Starnes said the recipe took first place honors at the 2004 Gaffney Peach Festival.

“I thought some readers may enjoy it since some peaches are still available,” she said. “I’ve made this cake two times and it is simply delicious. It makes a large pound cake and is worth every bit of the trouble.”

Caregivers play a special role in the lives of the ones they tend to each day.
Their tasks and challenges are great, sometimes outweighing the needed thanks.
That’s why those dedicated folks are special.
Recently a Lancaster caregiver, Karen Hoffman, was honored for her work as a caring caregiver.
Hoffman was presented the local Family Caregiver of the Year Award, an annual honor given by Homewatch Caregivers, which is an international provider of full-service home care, and co-sponsored by the National Family Caregivers Association.
